May 2012

as a result of the Presidents position on the side of equal rights for all. It severly diminishes the arguments of the anti-gay camp, and shines a bright light on their intolerance and bigotry. Is this everything I ever wanted or hoped for? Not by a long shot, but the ball IS rolling now and there will be no stopping it. Surely THAT is worth something. If corporations can fund politicians to get the legislation they seek, they I figure I can kick in a few dollars here and there when advancements in the direction of my way of thinking arise.
